The injured man, identified as Dornell Thomson, was shot during a confrontation at a “hot spot” area in Tabatinga, between 10:00 and 11:00 hrs. police said.
The Guyana Police Force (GPF) reported that a group of four known men were standing at the “hot spot”.
“Shortly after, three men, including Thomson, approached the group on motorcycles. The men were reportedly approached by the suspect (a known character) who was accompanied by an unknown male on a motorcycle, along with someone fitting the description of the now-injured man, Dornell Thomson, who was also on a motorcycle,” police said.
Several gunshots were heard after the initial approach, but police have not yet been able to determine who fired the shots.
